About The Queen Bee and Me by Gillian McDunn
Meg has long been comfortable as Beatrix’s sidekick, but middle school makes their friendship harder to navigate. When Meg earns a place in a special science elective, she wants to take it—even though Beatrix may disapprove. The risk of “The Freeze” weighs on her as she tries to step beyond the role she has always played.
Working on a backyard beehive project with Hazel, a new science partner, gives Meg a chance to see another side of friendship and to question Beatrix’s treatment of others. Published in 2020, this middle-grade realistic novel will suit readers interested in school friendships, standing up for oneself, and finding the confidence to speak in one’s own voice.
